Tehran, Iran – Senior Iranian military officials on Thursday continued to threaten “crushing responses” against Israel for the death of a top Revolutionary Guards officer in an airstrike on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights earlier this week.

The attack also killed senior Hezbollah operatives, among them the son of the late arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh.
Brigadier General Hossein Salami, the second-in-command in the Revolutionary Guards, told Iranian state media on Thursday that his troops are capable of firing Shahab-3 missiles on Israel.
“[Israel] should be waiting for crushing responses,” Salami is quoted as saying.
The Iranian officer said that the Golan attack was an attempt to “change the balance of power in Syria” and help “the takfirist,” a reference to the Islamist elements working to topple the government of Tehran’s key ally, President Bashar Assad.
“[The Golan strike] was the reflection of numerous defeats that both Americans and Israelis have suffered in their current strategies,” he said.
“They have seen IRGC’s reactions before, and [therefore] they are worried, and they will witness destructive thunderbolts in practice,” he said.
Iran is not the prime the prime problem is “israeli” ARABS like Tibi and Bishara and Zoabi, expel them as Kahane said, Kahane was right.
I guess they are forcing more of our Israeli brothers to keep shahabbos.
I am surprised they are threatening with many missiles and not a major burning, without mentioning atomic…why aren’t they hinting with atomic without saying it explicitly? Most likely they have several bombs already (based on my internet search of the major news sites for the past two years…).
Empty threats, I would become concerned once Iran stops threatening everyone….
These are the people that our President wants to deal with.
